Despite the conservatism of Hough &
Dittey, it is impossible for giddy sub.
editors to keep from showing that the
Gazette is for whisky, now and forever.
It ID not possible to suppose that the
proprietors of the Gazette have any prin.
cipal, but it would certainly be policy
for them to take the side of prohibition
in county that so firmly expressed
itself on this vital question, and in a
town that has adopted local option pro.
hibition by vote of three to one. The
subscription list of the paper has already
warned them that the good Democrats
Of Highland county do not endorse their
opinions on the whisky question, and
additional and sterner admonitions are
n store. The editorial department has
been abolished because it was found to
b doing . great deal of harm and no
god, and history Of Highland county

Let no man imagine that small honor
and privilege attaches to being Lieuten-
ant Governor of Ohio. Without an able
man in that Office the State would have
been in sorry plight, at the mercy of a
gang of Democratic boodlers who were
ready for any intrigue that might aid in
carrying out their designs. 1t is no in.
dignity to step into the vacant shoes OF
such statesmen as Robert Kennedy.
